$1.69??
Gezz, in my day we thought a nickle was expensive. But pop bottles were abundant along the ditches, which were worth 2 cents. In no time we would have money for caps, a 10 cent bar and a 7 cent pop.

I can remember paying 5-cents for a box of caps and each box contained 5 rolls.

But pop bottles were abundant along the ditches, which were worth 2 cents. In no time we would have money for caps, a 10 cent bar and a 7 cent pop.

I used to go house to house seeing if any lazy housewives were willing to donate empty bottles to the cause. (The cause being me, of course.)
